I originally thought it would be cool to put it on top of the electro and have an easy way to bring synths to a gig, especially leads, but right away I read here or someplace else that you couldn't use the pitch ribbon unless you used the babykey add on.

Well I just discover that that isn't even true, so now I'm seeing age old possibilities come to life.

But any way, it's never been a matter of too many toys it's always been too little time. I've only been home for about two weeks worth of days since spring - one or two days a week.

I want to try and get a play with the A0-1 at some point... there's some sounds I've heard from it that I love and that are hard to nail, a lot of the demos though don't play to what I'd regard as it's strengths.

I do like the erly aracade machine and C64 type sounds, the later console stuff not so much.

"To be honest with you, I just assumed it was another symptom of Taren Capel being as mad as a bicycle."

then i downloaded the juno-106, jupiter 8, and system 8 plug-ins (they're avail separate from the system 8 now)

i was messing with the juno and made a template for my novation sl

the presets aren't great but digging in and making patches, especially with the controls mapped, has been really fun. it is def not a 1:1 emulation of the juno, one of my all time fav synths. but in a mix it is really close enough imho. the condition knob is interesting but it really starts to crap out if you go to high !

i like the chorus, but don't find its very "warm" so i've been adding mojo from other plug-ins. the effects are 'ok' but stuff like distortion i can do with big muff, tube screamer, culture vulture, etc same with the reverb. overall very sweet !!

The sh101 is an extremely fun synth to play. It sounds good, but now there are many single osc synths that sound similar to me - or at least familiar. The Minibrute has often made me recall using a 101.

I have considered several times putting the 101 plug out in the system 8, but I'm not really sure that would be the best thing to do.

After my experience with the Jp08, I would really hesitate before getting excited about a boutique 101. That shitty fake picture looks like it's congested enough to have sliders that are too small to use.

I'm not betting on analog (let alone poly analog); since they already have the "plug out" it would surprise me personally. Still, you never know, the Internet hype is all about analog and retro. The "A" is the intriguing letter here.

Personally not my thing either way because as mentioned single oscillator. I have a "101ish" Euro module (Intellijel Atlantis) but on that one, the pre-filter external input alone (let alone the other patch points) give it enough flexibility so that I'm not eventually bored by it.

In a way I think it would be best if it is analog. Because if it's analog, they probably will include additional patch points like they have on the SE-02. The SE-02 patch points aren't that numerous, but it means you can feed in extra oscillators and control the VCF with an external envelope / LFO / etc. This adds to the sonic possibilities.

Based on blurry pic, I don't think I see enough labels for it to have patch points. But who knows, we are in "Internet speculation mode" at this point.

Just me man. There's some edit murphy routine about being so poor they had to eat their toys for dinner. I think it's apt... I dont know why.. I'm in a silly mood.

How hard would it be to make it a 4 space plastic rack? maybe sell the rack ears (metal) and make it a wrap around deal that protected it too as an accessory. Body high impact ABS. I dunno why so small.

The sliders remind me of the old 90's yellow walkmen that had EQ sliders on the outside.. you needed tweezers to adjust them and then you'd bump them on everything..

Nobody buys racks anymore and everyone wants to buy tiny desktop modules. This is the Lesson Of the Korg Microkorg.

(Don't ask me. I didn't buy a Korg Microkorg. )

If this is digital, at any rate, there kind of is a full size option: the System 8, which I believe supports the SH-101 plugout, and also comes with their Jupiter 8 and Juno 106 plugouts by default. You don't get the 1:1 controller mapping I suppose with that, though.
